THE MASQUERADE.
The Event of Thanksgiving Day a Very
Brilliant Affair.

To remark that the Typographical
Union masquerade ball was a grand sue
cess is to make an assertion which, while
possessing a chestnutty flavor, is literally
true. Even spacious Library hall, which
boasts the largest dancing surface in the
territory, was entirely too small to accom-
modate the throng of dancers.
The minutest details for the comfort
and entertainment of guests had been
carefully arranged by the printers, who,
In their commendable efforts to please all,
paid no attention to their expense ac-
CUNT. The temperature Of the loom was
right to the tenth of a degree, and never
was the floor smoother. Few, but very
tasteful decorations covered the walls.
The splendid 18th infantry band, under
the leadership of Prof. Kral, furnished
the music.
The costumes ranged from the comical,
ridiculous and fudicrous to the handsome,
elegant and magnificent. As the Louis
XIV courtier danced with the more
ancient Mother Goose he was ogled by
Bill Mccoy and admired by a petite maid
attired as a wielder OF the dust brush.
The cowboy and Sioux firted with the
queen of the night, while a clown and
Russian belle whispered sweet nothings in
the corner and commented on the beauty
and grace of the Gypsy queen.
The appearance of Sam Atkinson, viii
Garvln, Isador Welsh and Tom William:
in genuine convict suits borrowed from
Penitentiary Commissioner Murrin was
the sensation of the evening. The gay
dancers were labeled Jones, Mccoy, lie.
Roy and Sterry. They contributed not a
little to the evenings pleasure.
At the conclusion of the ball it was
unanimously agreed hat the fifth annual
ball of Typographical Union 1874 was the
event of the season.

A Faithful Wife.

As the ivy clings to the oak in a temp
est so does the faithful wife defend the
unfortunate husband in his hour of trial.
This is exemplified in the now famous Pat
terson case. When the prisoner was ar
rested in Montana charged with the com
mission of a murder in Laramie county,
he s%trenuously denied his identity and clio
quently commented upon the unfortunate
circumstances which led to the apprehen-
siou of an innocent man. In his earnest
Appeals he was ably seconded by his wife,
who went SC far as to declare that she
had married the prisoner as Chas. Viii
bur, and though loving him dearly would
not hesitate to dissolve their alliance upon
learning hat he had been travelling under
an assumed name. Though the alleged
murderer has signed his name as Patter.
son and been recognized by several per.
sons as the identical Harry Patterson who
formerly resided in this section, his devot.
ed wife is laboring in his behalf more
earnestly than ever.

The Hunters, BANQUET.

All the returns being in from the two
hunting parties which vent out on
Thanksgiving day, it was found that p.
Bergersen's side had scored 3I2 points
and G. Channels 213, thus giving the
victory to the former by ~ninety-nine
points, and causing the losing side to
banquet the whole party at a grand sup
per, which was given last evening.
Everybody thoroughly enjoyed the festivi-
ties on this occasion. All hands snapped
lies''a to their abilities as marksmen and
hunters. 1t was. ascertained that Messrs.
Ellis and Bon, of the losing side, had
brought in two rabbits which had been
killed with a rifle and one which had died
a natural death. AS neither had rifles
with them, it was a question whether to
allow them the points. Afterwards both
owned that the rabbits had been pur-
chased at twenty-five cents each.
1t was an even thing, though, when it
was found that Kapp, of the winning
side, had either purchased five rabbits of
some market in this city or had bought
them of some ranchman. 1t made no
difference in the general result, at any
rate.
Another grand hunt will take place on
the 18th of December, with East and
Bergersen as capRins of the rival parties.
The losing side will furnish a Christmas
dinner for the entire party. The person
killing the most game will receive a box Of
fifty cigars, which the person having the
lowest score will be expected to furnish.
The sides at present are not fully made
up, but each will consist of ten hunters.
This is looked forward to as a great event
by local sportsmen.

The local land office yesterday received
notification from the secretary of the in
terror that the contest case of A. Sim
mons VS.. the Union Pacific Railway com
pany had been decided in favor of the
contestant. This suit has been IN pro-
gress several years. The land involved is
a ranch near Silver Crown. Decisions
have been rendered in favor of the
plaintiff by the Cheyenne office, the gen
eral commissioner and finally by the sec
rotary, the company appealing in the first
two instances. With the exception of
one ~forty-acre tract, Simmons will receive
title to the realty originally claimed by
him. An interesting feature of the case
is the attitude of a settler named Kels P.
Nickells, who has announced his inten-
tention of contesting Simmons claim to
the property.
